There are so many car tints in the market nowadays, I am super confused which is which?
Sputter Film? Nano Ceramic Film?
IRR, TSER, UVR?

Time for us to revisit this again in 2023 to help us fellow Malaysians to know what could be the best budgeted choice for you or for your friends and family.

Sputter is metallic based and more effective in rejecting heat, but will cut Infra signal resulting RFID Card/Smart tag hard to detect.

Ceramic usually lower in heat rejection thus no issue with transmitting Infrared tech signal.

Popular choice are 3M Crystalline Films which is high in heat rejection but will be a little difficulties using infrared transmitted device.

currently I am using IrisPro the one with 100% UV rejection, doing good so far for 1 year half

Raytech I had on my other car feel meh.. but I took FX series which is entry-mid range, but it still wasn't cheap

magic tint

I guess with RFID on headlights, 3M's product is only going to get more popular I recon.

No frills just product, and maybe a little bit of premium. That's what makes 3M sell usually.

Just have to make sure getting the authentic one from 3M Authorized Installer.
Because we as user do not have proper tools to measure if tint used are authentic, even with the meter they use to measure, any cheap tint when it is new the number will be good, what I care more are how long the tint can last before it degraded.

vkool for sure

rfid stick at side mirror can.
since d technology is rf no need line of sight

my car seller give me free tint mohawk brand.
i used 3M and Lumar in the past.

is mohawk good brand?

Have not heard of it before hahaha, you come back drop review after 3 years

mohawk is more in car audio...
suddenly now hv tinted

When biz is not really good then suddenly OEM becomes an option

Just like diversifying into selling EOs

What series of IrisPro are you using, and what windscreen/front/back VLT did you go for? How’s the heat rejection on hot sunny days? Overall quality after 1.5 years acceptable?

How u know iris pro really give 100% UV rejection?

From what I recall from their SIRIM Certification and their website, these are all tested and measured by a Window Tint Meter.

But I am just not too sure if it's marketing gimmick or what, but based on research comparing to so many big brands out there, they are considered quite reputable and credible it seems.

But Mohawk has always been only into Car Audio systems. Never have I heard of them into Car Window Tinting

It might be the typical accessory shop gimmick, where they get tint film from one of the local suppliers and just rebrand to one of the audio brands they carry. Maybe somewhere in MY there’s a shop carrying Rockford Fosgate tints also.

UVpro series I go for VTL 30 side and rear then 50 for windscreen.

After 1.5 years still satisfied like new, but my car parked at basement carpark, that could be one of the factor slowing the degradation

They have a meter to measure, but if it is 100% or not my eye can't tell that and I have nothing to prove

They have other lower end series that is 99% UV 380nm which measure UV able to went through more if using UV420 grade meter, while UVPro90 series able to shown block 100% at meter.

The point they trying to make is usually tinted 99% UV rejection were measure with <380nm grade meter
Theirs were measured with 420nm grade which is higher grade and although higher grade it still score 100% rejection.

But in the end of the day it is their meter that they are using, no one knows if it was rigged.

The way to really to go about whether is it going to be real or fake is to pay a higher premium price and go for Branded Tints like 3M, V-Kool, Huper Optik etc.
IrisPro if not mistaken is a local brand, but they got all the SIRIM Certified or what not. To be sure they are not giving you any cheap tints, do ask them to use the Tint Meter to measure once they done installation lar. I think as a Consumer you reserve the right to ask for it, if not how to know u didnt got scammed.

I wouldn’t reco Huper. Used it before and after abt 5-6 yrs the tint has a wavy look at certain angles. Although it doesn’t affect visibility.
